A bit about me

I've been so lazy lately! lol, Did my lifting yesterday, but I totally didn't want to.. Then I slept through my run this morning... Bleeeeh!! But I'm down to 149 today! Yaaaay!! I wasn't expecting quite that much of a drop from rebooting this regimen of mine. I've been able to keep up with it so far, and no hunger pains yet. I found somewhere online that noted that my BMR is 1499, so I'm not surprised that I have to restrict so much to make any difference.

One of the food items that has been helping me are these smoothies I'm been making. I'm using a big hand full of spinach (10), a carrot (45), cup of frozen strawberries (50), and a cup of frozen blueberries (85) to make a 190cal smoothie. I believe it makes about 20oz. The fiber in the spinach helps make it filling and makes it last, although it's definitely an acquired taste. I guess I just have a knack for making myself acquire strange tastes, especially if they are healthy for me. Like Natto! I love Natto, but everyone else I know hates it. Lol. It's a Japanese super food, and even most Japanese people don't like. My mom says it looks like snot, but it's so goood! yum.

Anywho, I don't have much else to say other than, oh my goodness! It's so nice outside finally!! I want to go swimming! Or go shopping! Or to the park! Or something!! I wish I were out of school and had more friends.. ;_; A lot of my school friends are graduating in a couple months. and one of them is going to Japan for years and years!! Not even fair! Lol, we still need to give her a going away party/event/something before she leaves.

I guess I can talk a bit about myself now, heh. As you can probably tell, I'm very interested in Japan and Japanese culture. Not just anime, but everything about it. I've been there on a number of occasions and am learning the language, although I'm still not very good at it. I'd love to apply for the JET programme once I graduate, so I can go teach English in Japan. Heh, there's Thinspiration if ever there was any. It's bad enough that I'm taller than most Japanese people and I have bigger feet (Size 10! eww!! Like, no joke! The biggest size they have at 99% of their stores are a size 9... not even fair, lol!), so why should I be too fat for their clothing, too? I look forward to being able to shop at their stores and find nicely fitting clothing, because they have some cute stuff there.

I have more things I could talk about, but I'll save them for later posts. Stay Strong!
